The Irpino Museum celebrates the international observance of “Holocaust Remembrance Day”, that was established by the UN to remember all the victims of the Holocaust

On Friday, January 27th at 5.30 pm, the auditorium of the Irpino Museum will host the event “Notes for the Shoah”, to commemorate one of the most violent and touching events in the history of humanity through an evocative combination of music and poetry.
The flute ensemble of the “Domenico Cimarosa” State Conservatory of Avellino, conducted by Maestro Salvatore Rella, will perform excerpts from the soundtracks of some of the most moving films on the theme of the Holocaust and beyond. The audience will listen to L’Italiana in Algeri by Gioacchino Rossini, Adagio by Benedetto Marcello, Gabriel’s Oboe by Ennio Morricone, Il Coro delle Zingarelle e dei Mattadori from La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi, Schindler’s List by John Williams, Suite for orchestra n. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich and La Vita è Bella by Nicola Piovani.

The music will be accompanied by the reading of excerpts from testimonies by Liliana Segre and sisters Andra and Tatiana Bucci. As children, these three women experienced the incomprehensible violence of the most tragic event in the history of the 20th century. Angela Caterina, from Teatro d’Europa, will read these touching passages.

On January 27th 1945, the Red Army troops broke in the Auschwitz concentration camp and set the Jewish prisoners free. This is the reason why the Holocaust Remembrance Day was established on January 27th, thus commemorating the victims of the Nazi savagery.

The event, created and promoted by the Province of Avellino with the Technical-Scientific Coordination of the Irpino Museum and the “S. e G. Capone” Library, is an opportunity to raise the community’s awareness of a still very current issue and to reaffirm the role of culture and beauty in order to fight all forms of violence and discrimination.
